Dangerous Premises

Owners, managers and occupants of retail stores, parking
lots, apartment complexes, construction sites, and even
homeowners are all responsible for proper maintenance,
inspection and repair of dangerous conditions on their
property which may cause foreseeable injuries to visitors. The
law imposes a duty of reasonable care upon these people who
are responsible for the prevention of accidents, such as slips
and falls.

More and more merchants operate self-service stores where
they know that customers are likely to drop or leave
merchandise on floors, creating a serious risk of harm to
other customers. Owners and operators of these stores are
legally required to regularly inspect and maintain their
premises in order to minimize the risk of injury to other
shoppers. Failure to do so often results in liability for
permitting a hazardous condition to exist.

Inadequate signage or warnings, uneven surfaces, and
unguarded holes that result in serious injuries are other
examples of dangerous premises for which owners, supervisors
and occupants of the property may be liable for injuries which
occur.

Owners and occupants of commercial premises are responsible
for compliance with building and safety codes to assure the
prevention of hazardous defects which may result in injury.
These codes impose minimum safety standards with which
building owners and managers must comply. While accidents
sometimes just happen, if an accident is due to a code
violation, negligent maintenance, inspection, repair or
warning, the victim of an injury caused by such a hazard is
entitled to compensation for any loss of income and medical
bills, as well as any permanent or residual pain, discomfort
or disability.

Most businesses and homeowners today carry premises
liability insurance. If you or a loved one has been injured by
a hazardous condition on someone's property,
